Allstar Show Industries Celebrity Horse Race

As the Title Sponsor we hope you'll join us July 25 at the Glendale Golf and Country Club for the fun yet competitive Allstar Celebrity Horse Race starting at 6:00 PM.

"Following the Celebrity Pro-Am, 10 celebrities will be participating in the tournament’s Allstar Celebrity Horse Race – an exciting specialty event which will have 10 teams competing in a fun, crowd-pleasing alternate shot, elimination format that will provide loads of entertainment for all sport fans. Each team will consist of a celebrity and a Mackenzie Tour professional."

"Both the Celebrity Pro-Am and Allstar Celebrity Horse Race, like the entire Syncrude Oil Country Championship presented by AECON, will be in support of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF), who will direct net proceeds to Some Other Solutions (SOS) for Crisis Prevention in Fort McMurray. SOS was significantly impacted by the wildfire and has not been in operation since May, making this funding even more important to their organization’s work in the Fort McMurray community."

Alberta Motorcycle Safety Society Campaign Launch

Allstar was at the Alberta Motorcycle Safety Society official campaigne launch for 2016 at Edmonton's City Hall supplying a bit of event support.

I wanted to provide some feedback and say Ryan and Chris were amazing at getting things set up, they made everything happen so easily.

Upon tear down, because it took a bit to get people moved out due to post launch speech interviews and a couple bikes placed in front of the stage, their patience was exemplary. They left the area just as it was when they arrived, clean and tidy.

Life is always better when you can work with such professionals who are kind and courteous.

Rogers Place

Allstar was contracted to supply, install, site coordinate, inspect, test and warranty a facility wide state-of-the-art sound reinforcement system in Edmonton's new Rogers Place.

Farewell Rexall Place

April 6, 2016 was a historic day for the citizens of Edmonton as they said farewell to Rexall Place. Whether it was the noon hour gathering of the Oilers Alumni in Churchill Square or the Oilers playing their last ever competition in Rexall Place Allstar was there. From sound reinforcement and a small stage in the square, rigging and lighting inside and outside of the arena to video displays on the concourse Allstar was behind the scenes for this red letter day. Of course the icing on the cake was the Oilers 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks to close out a ten year stint at Rexall.

The next time we see the Oilers play a home game will be in their new Rogers Place where Allstar is installing a new state-of-the-art sound system.

Beaver Arts Centre

The Beaver Regional Arts Centre in Holden Alberta recently had Allstar deliver and install a new twenty foot Draper screen along with a Panasonic projector. Following are some kind words to express how they felt about their Allstar Experience.

"I don't know how many installers Allstar has, but two of the best came out to Holden today. Everything went smoothly and we couldn't be happier. The electrician came out shortly after they left and wired up the switch, and when I finally found the manual I got busy projecting a few images."

"I wanted to say thanks very much to Al and Bill, they were great to work with. We're grateful that everything went so well and so is the whole town, judging by the number of people who didn't even know Holden had a theatre last week versus this afternoon!"

Hear it Touch it Feel it - A Day with Brad and Ashley

We had a productive day with Brad and Ashley from Yamaha Commercial Audio August 19th. The NEXO M6 cabinets with the LS600 subs were impressive to listen to. Aside from the great sound the rigging for the M6 boxes makes it real easy to fly or stack them.

The TF Series Digital Mixing Console proved easy to use and at the price point a good choice for schools, houses of worship, clubs and rental houses.

Thanks to all who attended, we hope to see you again soon. If you missed weren't able to make it out and have an interest contact one of our Edmonton sales reps.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

LEADING AV INTEGRATORS FROM ALBERTA AND BC FORM NEW COMPANY, TO
BE CALLED “ALLSTAR PACIFIC INTEGRATED MEDIA SOLUTIONS”

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - March 26, 2014 - After a year engaged in joint venture projects,
Rodger Boyce and Gary Urlacher of Allstar Show Industries Inc. and Fred Michael, principal of Rocky
Mountain Production Services Ltd, unveiled their new company today. “It was apparent to all of us that the
synergy and cooperation exhibited by our Vancouver staff over the last year called for a deepening of the
relationship in order to take full advantage of the opportunities coming our way,” commented Rodger Boyce.

Said Michael, “Together, we completed several major projects in 2013 that combined audio and video
technology under a single digital control system in a wide assortment of settings, from performing arts
centres and music venues to community centres, the classroom and the corporate environment.

Our roots in this community are deep and the needs of our clients are varied and ever-changing. We see
this venture as the next logical step in order to offer the best that technology has to offer, whether it be
projectors, video displays, concert audio systems, paging systems or the control systems that tie it all
together.”

According to Gary Urlacher, “The most important word in our new name is ‘Solutions’. Of course, we can
sell you a video projector or microphone but the greater value lies in how we design integrated solutions for
today’s complex technologies. Our clients get the benefit of over 50 years’ combined company experience.”

Allstar Pacific will carry on business at its current location in East Vancouver.

Live broadcast and recording applications with a constant rotation of
multiple acts when maintaining a deadline is paramount

Allstar Director Gary Urlacher - A day at the Stollery Children’s Hospital

Recently Allstar Director Gary Urlacher spent a day at the
Stollery Children’s Hospital with his 63 Corvette Promod and here is what he
had to say.

“We had a great day at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
It was a great honor to be able to help some of the children have a better day.
To see some of their smiles as they got the chance to sit in a race car and be
away from their daily routine was priceless.

We went upstairs and met a lot of kids who were not able
to get down to see the cars and got to talk to them and bring a few more smiles
here and there.

The Stollery is an amazing facility and we are lucky to
have such a place in our city but it is heart breaking to see some of these
kids and their conditions. Just knowing we were able to brighten up the day for
some of them was such a good feeling.

They say these kids talk about this for days so our
efforts pay off for more than the moment.

I need to send out a big thank you to John Mandlis for his
multiyear commitment to brightening up the children's lives and giving us this
great opportunity. One outstanding person if you ask me.

We also need to thank the Edmonton Police Service for
escorting us to the hospital and blocking off the road so we could safely
unload and load the cars. It was fun. Last but not least, thank you to Jim
Mason for helping me with the car and speaking with the children while I was
upstairs.

All in all it was a great day with so many people coming
together for such a good cause.”

P.S. “The children loved the bandage on my hood scoop,
after the fire its a little sick.”

Allstar's New Four Camera Production System

Allstar Show Industries now offers a complete four camera
HD production system based on the JVC GY-HM790U HD SDI camera with capability
to record full HD video onboard via dual SDHC card slots. At the heart of the
GY-HM790U is the new Dynamic Digital Signal Processor. Processing is performed
on the full progressive 1920 x 1080 signal, regardless of the camcorder's
settings, ensuring the highest picture quality in any shooting mode. All major
HD resolutions are supported, including 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080 and 1280 x
720.

The three 1/3-inch progressive CCD design works in
conjunction with JVC's original Triplex Offset technology to dramatically
increase horizontal, vertical and diagonal resolution. The high-performance
DDSP (Dynamic Digital Signal Processor) allows you to achieve pictures of
stunning definition up to full progressive 1920 x 1080. These technologies are
complemented by the true HD 14x zoom lens from Canon, offering less chromatic
aberration and higher resolution throughout the zoom range.

The JVC KA-M790 Multicore Studio Interface system is a
compact interface unit that connects to the back of the GY-HM790 shoulder-mount
camcorder to provide full studio/EFP capabilities. Available functions include
intercom controls, call switch/indicator, and a power source select switch. A
26-pin connector lets you use existing 26-pin control cables, while
teleprompter and intercom connectors provide further studio functionality. A
large LCD 8.4 inch HD viewfinder is provided on three tripod mounted cameras
featuring full HD/SDI return video, with one of the cameras housed in the
KA-790 Studio Sled with a Fujinon 17X HD telephoto lens and the fourth camera
designated as the hand held roving unit. The JVC RM-HP790DU HD/SD Camera
Control Unit is the remote for use with the JVC GY-HM790U ProHD solid-state
media camcorder that connects to the camcorder through a multicore/BNC hybrid
cable, which ensures lossless SDI transmission. The RM-HP790DU provides
extensive control functions, including gamma level, paint, knee, gain, iris,
black level, and shutter. All four CCU’s are connected to the RM-LP20U remote
camera controllers and are genlockable to the Black Magic ATEM ME 1 HD SDI
switcher reducing latency to less than one frame on the HD SDI outputs.

The ATEM ME 1 is a true broadcast grade panel with premium
quality switches, faders and joysticks that are normally only found on the most
expensive switchers available. ATEM even uses an FAA certified operating system
for a true broadcast grade switcher! ATEM is the most creative solution for
live switching! All transitions are instantly available with a button push on
the control panel and include the same cut, mix and wipe found on traditional
mixers! Plus you also get extra innovative ATEM transitions including dip, DVE,
graphic wipe and stinger! It's simple to load clips into the 2 built in media
players for exciting custom animated graphic transitions. ATEM features a built
in DVE with 3D borders, light source and drop shadow! You can even use the DVE
for transitions, or route into any of the 4 built in keyers for incredible
multi-layer compositions! The ATEM 1 M/E model gives you 8 video inputs, 3 Aux
outputs, SDI, HDMI and analog program outputs, SDI and HDMI multi view outputs,
USB 3.0 as well as down converted SDI and composite outputs.

The heavy-duty 164' multi-core camera cable is designed to
connect the studio equipped JVC professional camera to a CCU. It includes dual
integrated HD/SD-SDI cables with BNC connectors terminating at a block on each
end of the cable. The cable jacket is made of a heavy duty vinyl. It is slip
proof when pulled in a studio or on location and rewinds without binding or
crimping. Four BNC-BNC cables are provided for convenience. For long Front of
House runs Allstar Show Industries also offers the VC-DHP114M heavy-duty 330’
(100 m) multi-core camera cable.

Break Forth Canada 2013 an Event to Remember

2013 Break Forth attendees were once again treated to a
great experience. Allstar Show Industries provided sound video and lighting for
53 class and workshop rooms as well as the main concert stage. Located in seven
locations spread throughout downtown Edmonton, venues were the Shaw Conference
Centre, Weston Hotel, Alberta College, Sutton Place, McDougal Church, The
Crowne Plaza Chateau Lacombe and Stanley A. Milner Library. Allstar crew
managed the set-up with the help of Break Forth volunteers in a single day.

Halls A, B and C of the Shaw Conference Centre were set-up
to provide sound video and lighting for three individual rooms serving classes
/ lectures and then opened up and combined for concerts. A concert highlight
was an amazing show by Amy Grant. Read a review by
Mike Ross of Amy’s concert at gigcity.ca.

Barry Moss commented, “I loved the graphics on the LED
walls, even if it did make photography a bit more difficult with back
lighting.”

Arlen Salte (Executive Director, Break
Forth Ministries) commented, “Elsa and I would like to thank you from the
bottom of our hearts for the superb job you did at Break Forth Canada
2013.
You and your team made this the best year ever. The compliments on the quality
of sound, lighting and the killer LED wall seem non-stop.
You are a gift to us and to the thousands of people who were profoundly blessed
and encouraged. Please pass on our thanks to everyone at Allstar who did such
an exceptional job.”

Classes, workshops and concerts weren’t the only thing at
Break Forth. The trade show floor was a buzz of activity as attendees visited
the booths gathering information from exhibiters. Allstar staff manned two 10’
x 20’ booths displaying sound, video, lighting and staging products. Allstar
partners Panasonic and Sennheiser were also in attendance with booths and

suppliers of LED video panels in Canada.

Our product line inclues panels with 4mm, 6mm, 7mm, 12mm, 18mm, 37mm, 50mm and

smaller the number, the more LEDs, the better the picture looks.

We carry both indoor and outdoor screens in both solid and flexible
forms.
